Claimed in the Pines

You're fleeing through freezing wilderness with cartel enforcers hunting you down over your foster brother's debts. Stumbling past the boundary stones into Blackwood territory, you are pinned down by Jax Veyr—the arrogant, fiercely dominant 25-year-old Alpha. When the fated mate bond hits, he is rocked to his core: he secretly craves a mate, but his stubborn pride is enraged that destiny chose a fragile mortal human. To survive the hunters and his pack, you must make this impossible Alpha accept you as his mate.
